News

  • Sticking in Tampa

    Tampa Bay will sign Gaines to a one-year, $3.5 million contract, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gaines was about as productive on a per-snap basis in 2024 as he was in his first season with the Bucs in 2023, and his role didn't truly shrink, but his numbers were slightly deflated because he missed two games in the middle of the season with a calf injury. He figures to play a moderate, nonstarting role on the interior of Tampa Bay's defensive line again in 2025.

  • Modest numbers in '24

    Gaines provided 17 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season games in 2024.

    Analysis: The veteran played his fewest snaps (374) since the 2020 season, with that total also representing an 81-play downturn from his 2023 Buccaneers debut campaign. Gaines primarily served in a rotational role on the defensive front, and he went into the offseason on the heels of his most productive game of 2024 by recording six tackles over 26 snaps in the wild-card loss to the Commanders. Given Gaines' minor role and the fact he'll be 29 by the time next season begins, it's likely Tampa Bay lets…read more

  • Good to go for Week 10

    Gaines (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gaines has missed the Bucs' last two games due to a calf injury, but he will return for Sunday's contest and serve as the backup nose tackle behind Vita Vea. Gaines has logged six tackles (two solo) through seven regular-season games.

  • Ruled out again

    Gaines (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gaines suffered a calf injury in the leadup to Week 8 against the Falcons. He was unable to practice Thursday and Friday, and the injury is severe enough that the 2019 fourth-round pick will be sidelined for a second straight game. Gaines' next chance at suiting up will be Week 10 against the 49ers on Sunday, Nov. 10. C.J. Brewer stepped into the backup role at nose tackle behind Vita Vea against the Falcons in Week 8, and the former finished with three solo tackles, including 2.0 sacks.

  • Won't play vs. Falcons

    Gaines (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: Gaines popped up on the Bucs' injury report Thursday with a calf injury, which forced him to sit out of Friday's practice. The injury is severe enough for the 2019 fourth-round pick to be ruled out for Sunday's contest, and he'll work on making himself available for Tampa Bay's Week 9 contest against Kansas City on Monday, Nov. 4. Gaines has served as Vita Vea's primary backup at nose tackle this season, but C.J. Brewer will step up into that role with Gaines sidelined.

  • Staying in Tampa Bay

    Gaines and the Buccaneers agreed on a one-year contract Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Gaines spent the 2023 campaign with Tampa Bay, compiling 24 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also recovering a fumble over 17 contests. He'll provide the team with a veteran reserve option behind Vita Vea at nose tackle again in 2024.

  • Signs with Tampa Bay

    The Buccaneers signed Gaines (biceps) on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gaines will head to Tampa after recording 36 tackles (16 solo) and four sacks for the Rams last season. The 2019 fourth-round pick underwent a labral and bicep tendon repair back in January, but he is expected to be fully recovered for the offseason and should provide solid depth behind Vita Vea next season.

  • Undergoes bicep procedure

    Gaines recently completed a labral and bicep tendon repair, and he's expected to make a full recovery in approximately two months, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gaines sustained the injury during training camp, but he ultimately played through it and put off surgery until the Rams' season came to an end, per Schefter. The 312-pounder isn't expected to have any limitations throughout the offseason.

  • Returns with pair of sacks

    Gaines logged two sacks during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Gaines returned from a one-game absence due to an elbow injury and made an impact with his second and third sacks on the season, including breaking up a trick play with a big sack on Andy Dalton for a 13-yard loss. Gaines also saw a huge uptick on playing time, taking the field for 91 percent of the team's defensive snaps, a number he hasn't reached since Week 5.

  • Logs full practice Thursday

    Gaines (elbow) practiced fully Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Gaines suffered an elbow injury ahead of Week 10 and was forced to miss Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. After improving from his limited practice Wednesday, Gaines is in line for a Week 11 return against New Orleans. Expect Jonah Williams and Bobby Brown to see their roles increase if Gaines suffers any setbacks.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Gaines (elbow) is inactive Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Gaines was doubtful coming into the day, so his inactive status does not come as a surprise. With him unable to play, Jonah Williams and Bobby Brown should see an uptick in snaps against Arizona.

  • Doubtful to play Sunday

    Gaines (elbow) is considered to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gaines played 46 defensive snaps during the Rams' Week 9 loss to the Buccaneers, but he appears to have sustained an elbow injury at some point in this contest. The nose tackle did not practice at all Week 10, so it would be surprising to see him play much, if at all, against Arizona on Sunday. If Gaines is inactive, expect Jonah Williams and Bobby Brown to possibly see their biggest roles of the season versus the Cards.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Gaines (elbow) was a non-participant in practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Gaines has dressed in every game this season for the Rams, but that streak could be in jeopardy Sunday against the Cardinals. The defensive lineman will have two more opportunities to join his teammates on the practice field as he looks to avoid his first absence of 2022.

  • Ready to go for Week 17

    Gaines (hand) is active for Sunday's contest against the Ravens, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Gaines will be available for Week 17 after undergoing a procedure Monday to correct a hand injury he suffered in the Rams' Week 16 win over Minnesota. On the season, Gaines has recorded 48 total tackles and 4.5 sacks across 15 games.

  • Questionable against Baltimore

    Gaines (hand) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Kevin Modesti of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Gaines underwent a procedure on Monday to correct a hand injury he suffered in Sunday's win over Minnesota. However, he is still expected to play in the Rams' Week 17 matchup after logging a limited practice Friday. Gaines has recorded 48 total tackles and 4.5 sacks across 15 games on the season.

    Gaines (hand) underwent surgery Monday but is still expected to play in Sunday's matchup with the Ravens, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    Analysis: Gaines injured his hand in the Rams' Week 16 matchup with the Vikings. He is expected to cast up following surgery and play through it.

  • Questionable to return

    Gaines (hand) is questionable to return Sunday against the Vikings, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gaines' absence is a blow to the Rams' defensive line, where he has been a steady presence all season. Until he is able to return, Bobby Brown and Michael Hoecht will see extra work in the middle of the Rams' defensive line.
